“Twilight” heartthrob Taylor Lautner is starting to feel that his rippling muscles are overshadowing who he is as an actor. “It has become embarrassing,” Taylor told reporters June 3 at a press conference in South Korea. Lautner, 18, was the undisputed breakout star of “New Moon” after gaining 30 pounds of muscle to play the hulking werewolf, Jacob Black. He added: “It doesn’t annoy me, but people do tend to ask about it [my workout routine and my weight gain] a lot.” Lautner, who worked out six days a week and ate every two hours to gain and maintain his rippling 8-pack abs, added: “To me it’s just part of the character. It’s not like I can take it off!” Despite all the flattering attention he’s receiving for his buff body, Lautner is more than happy to change his look for a movie role. “The only reason I did it [gained weight] is because the character required it and I love the character,” said Taylor. “So, a year from now, if I fall in love with a character that requires me to lose weight, I’m ready to do it.”
